My name is John Doherty and I am running for Los Rios Student Trustee. After two semesters as a director of ARC’s Associated Student Body, I have an appreciation for the importance of student representation. In this role, my top priority has been to make myself accessible to students so I can hear their concerns and advocate on their behalf. This approach is essential to effective representation, and the student body needs someone with this philosophy in the district office. To ensure that I’m accessible to all students attending a Los Rios college, I plan to distribute flyers with my phone number and email at each campus because I believe this is critical for proper representation. 

With these values in mind, I have already started to represent the Los Rios student body in the district office. Last month, I worked on a district committee with administrators to return restaurant services to all Los Rios cafeterias. After 2 months of evaluation, we secured a contract that will, by this Fall, offer high quality food, sustainable dining, and affordable prices at FLC, SCC, CRC, and ARC. I plan to continue this work if elected as a trustee. Thank you for your consideration and I urge you to vote for John Doherty as Los Rios Student Trustee. 

I am currently Secretary of Public Relations on the Clubs and Event board here at SCC. I have taken classes related to policy work such as communication and administration of justice courses along with others that allow me to not only gain relevant experience but also interact with students and staff on campus. In my time in student government, I have participated in activities like lobbying for mental health resources for college students at the state capitol and sitting on an impressions panel to help select our next college president. My experience is invaluable to me and a huge part of why I am seeking this position and I hope to keep improving so I can be the best asset possible to the students I represent.

Although I enjoy my position on the Clubs and Events Board and planning meaningful activities for students, my greatest interest is in policy work. Moving from the Clubs and Events Board to our Student Senate is how I can work on what I am passionate about which is making sure that Sacramento City College is a campus that hears what every student needs and works to help them get it. My interest in policy stems from my interest in helping people and that is what I will do if elected as Student Senate President.

Currently serving on student senate as Secretary of the Senate. I like being engaged as a leader and serving, as well as being the best academically I can achieve.

Hello! My name is Desiree Jauregui, my pronouns are she/her, and I am running to continue my work as your Secretary of Legislative Affairs for Sac City’s Student Senate. A little over a year ago from today, I launched my campaign to run for Senator. At that point, I had no idea what to expect from joining student leadership; I’ve had some experience in the past, but never at the collegiate level. Once I got elected, I was beyond excited and couldn’t wait to start serving.

I went into last semester with an open mind and allowed myself to get involved in anything I could. From promoting civic engagement and literacy during the local election season to attending my first professional conference with my peers and other community college student body associations in San Diego, my first year in office helped strengthen my leadership skills and molded me into a more compassionate and understanding individual, characteristics I believe are important to have in any leadership position.

This semester, I was appointed to become Secretary of Legislative Affairs for the Student Senate. I took my newly developed passion for higher education advocacy, along with the students of Sac City in mind, to the state capitol and helped coordinate the Senate’s successful participation in Los Rios’ Lobby Day. Additionally, I’ve assisted with the council’s efforts to recruit more students to join student leadership to ensure we’re having a student voice representing each position available on our board. This will remain one of my main priorities, should I continue my work in the Senate.

Along with a more engaged student body, I plan on continuing to promote civic engagement and literacy on campus and look forward to collaborating with elected officials to assist with these efforts. With your vote, I’ll be able to continue promoting Sac City student’s views on all policy and legislative issues to local, state, and federal officials, staying up-to-date on current legislation impacting our students, and making this institution a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment of learning and experience. Thank you!

I, Safiya Peragallo, will be a good Treasurer for the Student Senate of Sacramento City College because I have always had an interest in finance. I have a keen eye for detail and tracking how money is budgeted. As a young woman who doesn’t live with her parents, I always keep watch on my savings, checking and spending limits per month. I believe I would be an excellent Treasurer because I could replicate my own organizational and budgeting skills that I use in my own life to Sacramento City College. I also have outstanding communication skills which I believe is essential in working with the other members of council to ensure the most organized and effective council possible.

My reasons for seeking office is to try something new, and having the ability to put my skills to work. I am a member of the SCC basketball team. I am also interested in the clubs such as art and BSU.

I am currently the Secretary of Public Relations for the Senate. I also was also class president in high school for all four years. I am seeking office to be able to better the lives of our students as well as continue to develop as a leader. I am a pre-med and pharmaceutical chemistry major. Currently I am also a hospice volunteer as well. Outside of academics I love to read and weight training.
